Next video – what's up with Alleras? (Patreon)
Content
In A Song of Ice and Fire, the basis of HBO’s Game of Thrones, Alleras is a novice at the Citadel, meaning he’s a student at what’s basically Westeros’ version of a university. We see him in the Prologue of Feast, having a drink with his friends after passing a history exam, and later he meets Sam, who’s fresh off the boat from the Wall, and takes him to Archmaester Marwyn. Alleras is not a major character, just seems to be some guy, but there’s actually a theory that he has a secret identity, indeed, that he is really a she, specifically, Sarella Sand, a bastard daughter of Oberyn Martell. As crazy as that may sound, it’s actually one of the most well-supported Game of Thrones theories, to the point where it’s almost certainly true.
The script goes on to discuss Alleras=Sarella, her involvement with Marwyn and Sam, as well as the whole "the sphinx was the riddle, not the riddler" thing. Should be a fun video (:
It should also be pretty quick to make, giving me time to work on the huge Varys video, which I expect to release late in the month.
Thank you all for your support!
